There are Buddhists and psychologists who say "love" is not a real emotion.
People in this school of thought say the real feelings are positive, negative or neutral -- to varying degrees. The rest is built on how we interpret these feelings via our thoughts.
However, most of us get tiny bursts of the hormone oxytocin, which is responsible for building a bond in relationships between parent and child, between friends, between a pet and their "owner", and between lovers. Lovers get big shots of oxytocin during orgasm, and small shots just holing hands, hugging, or during gestures of affection. A big high can cause a person to want to keep coming back for more.
